Disney Conversations A Disney Fan Podcast

We are currently celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World.  I thought it would be fun to take a quick look back to see what original attractions, shops, and restaurants were available on opening day 1971.  Don't worry, we look at the available lodging options, as well! Welcome to this week's episode of Disney Conversations!  I am so glad you are listening!  If you...

There are a lot of Disney fan sites on the internet.  There are also some third-party sites that offer a more unbiased look at all things Disney.  On this episode of Disney Conversations, we look at how to use some of those third-party sites when planning your vacation.  And, I offer what may be a very unpopular opinion in the Disney Community that I happen to disagree with. Thanks...

There are things we need to be aware of for all Disney Destinations.  On each Disney product website, there is a Know Before You Go section filled with useful information.  And these days, it's more important than ever to make sure you have the updated information before you travel.  I this episode, I give you a rundown of what the current information is for Disneyland Resort, Walt...

Don't get me wrong!  I absolutely Love Walt Disney World!  And, after this particular experience, maybe a bit more!   After taking a fall on my last park day, I found out what it is like to be one of those people in an ECV or wheelchair.  On this episode of Disney Conversations, I share a bit about my experience, and a lot about the perspective. Thank you for listening!  P...

I am joined by my friend Janette Pellegrini to talk about her VERY recent trip to Walt Disney World to celebrate her birthday.  She does talk about that other park, briefly, but mostly Disney World.  I hope you enjoy this episode!

We had several news items that came about in the last few days.  Learn about some changes coming around the parks, new restaurants and their menus, and a whole lot more!  Plus, I give a little pre-trip progress report prior to my visit to Walt Disney World.

Some big news hit this week and it's going to cost more.  I also give a short review on the new Marvel movie Shang-Chi.  Was it worth going to the theater to watch?  Listen and find out my thoughts. Disney Conversations is evolving a bit over the next weeks.  So, hang on to your seats, the ride may get more interesting! Thanks for listening!

In this bonus episode, we bring you the conclusion of our discussion on the "Extras" being introduced at Walt Disney World.  There are some strong opinions on the remaining topics.   This episode is long, but I felt it was important to get this out, since it has some relevant information. Thank you, again, for listening! Join us on Facebook at Disney Conversations Podcast.

What a joy it is to have Barbara Janusik, Jeanette Pelligrini, and Joe Pardo joining me this week to discuss some of the "extras" that have been introduced at Walt Disney World.  In Part One, we talk about Boo Bash, the Disney Very Merriest After Hours, Space 220 with a little humor involving Mission: Space. I will be putting part two out later this week, and It will be a much longer discussi...

When it comes to planning a trip to Walt Disney World, it can be difficult when different people have different ways of approaching it.  This week, I share a little about the preparations for a trip that I, my oldest daughter, and her best friend have been planning since the first of the year.  And, I talk a bit about how different the planning has been, so far. There is a lot of news to...

There are some travel agents who specialize in Disney Destinations!  They go through some pretty thorough training to gain the knowledge needed to help clients with all of their Disney desires.  This week, I talk a bit about what it means to partner up with an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, and the benefits that come along. Thanks for listening! Have a magical week!

Welcome back, friends! This week, I decided to do a bit of a refresher for myself on Disney Cruise Lines.  They are finally getting ready to sail again from the United States, and I thought it was a good time to get reacquainted!  And I decided to bring you all along with me!  We take a quick look at the ships, what they offer, where they leave from, and where they go.  And, I...

If you are anything like me, you listen to more than one Disney podcast.  I have several that I listen to myself.  Today's edition of Disney Conversations is about sharing my favorites in an effort to maybe introduce you to something new to add for your listening pleasure. All of the podcasts I listen to are available at Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and many other platforms.  So...

The Park Reservation System has become a very important part of planning your next Disney World experience.  This week, I give you tips on how, and maybe when, to use this as a part of your planning. Also in this episode of Disney Conversations, I wonder if you have ever tried to figure out what people are saying when you are in a Disney fan social media environment.  Do you see abbrevia...

Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs) are open and I wanted to give you, the listener, a thumbnail sketch of what's open and what you can expect.  The last of the resorts closed during COVID now have reopening dates.  And, planning has become even more detailed than it used to be with the introduction of the Park Reservations system.  We talk a bit about how important it is to have a...

There was a lot of news as it related to Disney returning to 'normal' from COVID this week.  I share what I found to be of interest and maybe a thought or two along the way.  Please understand, I love Walt Disney World, but there is one story that kind of grips my heart and not in a great way!  I would love to hear your thoughts, also!  Email me at disneyconversations@outlook.c...

What a joy to share with you some of my favorite memories of my visits to Walt Disney World.  I know that we all have great memories!  I would love to hear about some of your memories as well!  There is just something about the Walt Disney World Resort that turns many of us to mush.  But, that just proves that our hearts are beating and our dreams are alive! I invite you to sha...

That's right!  There are things I haven't done at Walt Disney World.  I would actually like to meet someone who had done it all!  That's is an accomplished person!  I am also looking to start a segment called Conversation Cavalcades where we talk about the things that drive many of is into Disney madness!  Welcome aboard the Disney Conversations Podcast!!!

As a bit of a continuation from our last episode, I take a look at how today's Walt Disney World area may actually represent at least part of Walt's vision for the Florida Project.  And, while living there may be out of our price range, at the moment, it's okay to dream!  Welcome Aboard this week's episode of Disney Conversations!

While younger generations may have some knowledge of Walt Disney's animated movies and the theme parks that carry his name, it is reasonable to think that they may not be very familiar with who Walt Disney was in life.  In this week's Disney Conversations, I give a rather brief outline of who Walt Disney was and how his dreams found a way to come true. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Today continues the first family adventure to Walt Disney World.  The entire experience was so worth all of the planning and plotting!  Thanks for listening!  Join the fun on Facebook...https://www.facebook.com/Disney-Conversations-Podcast-104521305159949.
